I live on this river and fish it year round, while the bass are fun to catch they have torn up the ecosystem pretty bad. Our salmon and steelhead runs are really low, because the bass eat the smolts and eggs.
those were some pretty fish, sorry to hear about your buddy dumping his yak and losing all his gear. this is why im always warning you to put pieces pof pool noodles on your stuff so you dont have a repeat of what happened last year. ^.^
This section was in day 1 part 1 but we didn't rush through it. We took the same amount of time to float has as much river. Thanks for watching, hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
